Length: 3p. Write a close reading of Death of a Salesman that makes a specific, well-defended argument. (Note: an argument that does not recognize and address alternative views is rarely worth making. Be sure to include a "con" section.)

(Note -- since the publication date of Resurrection Blues is listed on Amazon.com as January, naturally we couldn't do that play in this class. So we're going back to a play the same author wrote more than 50 years earlier.)
